    Personal Branding for Women Over 40: Mel Elsbeth on Ending Career Invisibility | Ep 69

    Send us Fan Mail You have the expertise, the experience, and the story — so why does nobody know you exist? This week we're managing career visibility, and why personal branding for women over 40 is no longer optional in the AI economy. In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Mel Elsbeth, Harvard-certified brand strategist and host of the Mama What's Next podcast, about visibility, reinvention, and using your voice as a business tool. Mel shares: • Why capable women stay invisible — and how "I'm comfortable in the background" blocks your own career progress • What it cost her to hide behind big brands like Diageo and Red Bull in her corporate years • Why your CV alone can't carry you anymore, and the "extra assets" that build real credibility • How ONE authentic visibility tool created work opportunities that didn't exist five years ago • The invisible load women carry while building their professional foundation — and what modern female leadership really looks like Whether you're rebuilding after corporate, growing a business, or re-entering the workforce, this conversation will give you permission — and a plan — to finally be seen. 🔗 CONNECT WITH MEL ELSBETH: Instagram: @mamawhatsnext Website: https://mamawhatsnext.com Podcast: Mama What's Next ——— The Manage Her® Podcast — hosted by Aimee Rickabus.

    Send us Fan Mail Peptide therapy for women is everywhere right now -- but what's real and what's hype? In Ep 64, Aimee Rickabus sits down with Tara Turnure, founder and CEO of BeautyDrip and creator of The Model Mama, for an honest conversation about peptides, GLP-1s, energy, and hormones. After welcoming twins, Tara faced what so many women know too well: hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, weight gain, and chronic inflammation -- with few real answers. Functional medicine, GLP-1 therapy, and targeted peptide protocols became her turning point. She lost over 40 pounds, got her energy back, and built BeautyDrip to give other women a science-driven, concierge path to feeling like themselves again. In this episode, Tara shares: - Why so many women feel depleted -- and what's happening underneath it - What peptides actually are, minus the hype - How GLP-1s fit into modern metabolic and weight care - The "are peptides the new Botox?" debate - What the "Barbie peptide" buzz is really about - How the 2026 FDA peptide reclassification is reshaping access Whether you're a tired mom, a busy founder, or simply done running on empty, this conversation will help you ask better questions about your own health.

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus sits down with Cassie Leonard — engineer, two-time bestselling author, executive coach, and founder of ELMM Coaching — for an unflinching conversation about why the modern workplace still fails working mothers in STEM.
